Truly, thank you everyone for your kind words and condolences. I really hope that what we build impacts other lives; no parent should ever have to bury a child, no brother should have to sift through hundreds of pages of journal entries and thousands of text messages to discover emotional abuse by a narcissistic asshole.

I don't know how, yet, but I am hopeful that the meeting with our community leaders and bank will bring forward some other great ideas on how to offer aid and comfort to others that are suffering, so that this type of tragedy never again occurs in our town (or anywhere for that matter).

Those that need a voice will hear ours. Those that need help, will receive it. Those that need a shoulder to lean on, will find one here.

Thank you again. Next time I share a post of this nature, it will be from the new account, and I hope that my fellow Hivers continue to help (me) us fight this fight - I find it criminal for the inaction and silence of my sisters ex. In a situation like this, I find it nearly the same as committing murder. The ability to say something about her suicidal ideations and comments existed for a LONG time, and yet NOTHING was ever said or done.

Truly unacceptable.
